 When packages are structured into subpackages (as with the
-\module{sound} package in the example), there's no shortcut to refer
-to submodules of sibling packages - the full name of the subpackage

 Starting with Python 2.5, in addition to the implicit relative imports

 relative imports use leading dots to indicate the current and parent
 packages involved in the relative import. From the \module{surround}
